There is no easy way to tell. However, to jailbreak it someone who knows how must have physical possession of the phone while it was unlocked for 15-30 minutes. If this is a possibility you need to restore the phone to factory settings and not restore any backup to it; in other words, start over.

Most of the time there is no way to tell, however sometimes a tell tale sign is the presence of an application called Cydia, or sometimes unexpected profiles on the device. However the easiest way to tell is, did you let someone else use your device? If you didn't, and didn't actively seek out a jailbreak, then you are fine. The device can not be jailbroken without physical access to the device.
